Shu Jing Min tilted his head and smiled in a sinister manner. He tapped the table in front of him and then said, "I also know that Xie Yuansheng has lost his memories."
Feng Xinying was thrown off the balance now. Her mind started working overtime and she wondered what was his purpose of finding this about her. Immediately she composed herself. "If this information is leaked to the media, I will ensure that you don"t see the next day"s sun," she threatened him.
Shu Jing Min started laughing. He said, "Why would I tell this to media? But what if Xie Yuansheng comes to know about it?"
Feng Xinying"s blood drained from her face. She looked white as a ghost. So that was his evil plan. She narrowed her eyes at him and said, "What is it that you want?"
A creepy smile appeared on his lips and he looked at her with a smirk, "What is it that you think I want? Give me my company back and I want it now. The last time we met you had said that all papers regarding transfer of owners.h.i.+p were ready. So all you have to do is only sign them up now and the work will be done. After today I won"t bother you."
Feng Xinying was very nervous. There was no one to back her up and if she buckled under his pressure now, there was no guarantee that he wouldn"t continue to blackmail her. Even though she didn"t see any other options in front of her, she didn"t want to hastily make a decision. After a moment of silence, she said, "The relevant people for owners.h.i.+p transfer are not here, so you will have to wait for tomorrow. Come back tomorrow and your company will be given."
Shu Jing Min stood up from his chair. He pounded the table and said, "Feng Xinying, I will not wait till tomorrow. You have to sign the doc.u.ments today itself, else I am going to tell Xie Yuansheng about your pregnancy."
Feng Xinying rose from her chair slowly. She collected her purse and replied, "It is not so easy to blackmail a person like me. Come tomorrow." Saying that she walked out.
Shu Jing Min shouted at her back, "Feng Xinying, you come back here now!" He had gambled by conning her that he would tell this to Xie Yuansheng. However, in reality, his plan was to send Jiao Long to tell it to Xie Yuansheng while he called her to the office. All he wanted was to bring Feng Xinying out of the Feng Mansion so that step one of their plan was executed successfully. At the same time while he was with her, he took his chances if she could sign the doc.u.ments and give his company back, although he knew that Feng Xinying was a tough woman to deal with. He knew his chances were next to nil, but then there was no harm in trying.
When Feng Xinying reached home, she went to see Xie Yuansheng immediately in her room. She didn"t find him there. She went to the backyard from where the sound of movie playing was coming but he wasn"t there too. Slightly panicked, she went to the kitchen where she found Lu Boyun arranging things in the cupboards.
"Where is Xie Yuansheng?" she asked him.
He stopped working and looked at her with a blank expression, "Young Miss, I have just come back from the market… I don"t know…"
Feng Xinying called a servant and asked him to find Xie Yuansheng. However, the search yielded no results. The servant informed her, "Miss Jiao Long had come to the house to meet the Young Master."
Feng Xinying was shocked. Why did she come there? The way Jing Min talked, it was as if he hadn"t told it to Xie Yuansheng. It took her a second to realize their plan. "What was she saying?"
"Madam, when I had gone to give tea, she had taken out a small present and said to the Young Master that she was eager to see the child and hope that your pregnancy was fine."
Her heart sank. Feng Xinying sat down on the nearest place she found. She cursed herself for going to the office. She had foolishly trapped herself in the plan executed by her uncle and aunt. Tears started forming in her eyes. How could she commit that mistake? Pregnancy was one thing that she had to hide from Xie Yuansheng and that was the only thing that came out. He trusted her so much and she betrayed his trust. She cursed herself for not telling him about it earlier. She knew that trust was a huge thing for her husband when he was fine and obviously it was huger, now that he was suffering from amnesia. Where could he have gone? Her mind had stopped working completely. She felt as if her knees have become wobbly.
Upon seeing her condition, Lu Boyun ran to the kitchen to fetch water for her. After she had water, she said, "Call the guards."
The guards came along with a servant and they said that Xie Yuansheng had left in a car. Since he was going alone and there was no instruction from her side about his sudden departure, the security team had followed him. Feng Xinying was relieved. She sprang from her chair and called her security people. They informed that Xie Yuansheng had come to the s.h.i.+nas.h.i.+ Residencies, in the same house they had visited last time.
Feng Xinying ran out and rushed to the s.h.i.+nas.h.i.+ Residencies.
When she reached there, it was too quiet. There was no noise coming from inside. The security people and the car were all waiting outside. Quickly, she opened the gate and walked inside. Her fists were closed in nervousness and her fingers dug her palm. She was afraid to think what would Xie Yuansheng say to her. She was scared that he wouldn"t even talk to her. She was scared that he might have received such a huge shock. Was he okay? Every step she took was like walking a thousand miles.
Anxiously, she opened the main entrance and looked inside. To her horror, she found Xie Yuansheng right in the middle of the main hall, lying unconscious on the floor.
"Xie Yuansheng!" she shrieked and ran to him to pick his head on her lap. Lightly, she tapped his cheeks. "Shengu, Shengu?" Her tears started to fall. "Wake up, please. I am so sorry. This was my fault. Please darling, wake up." She started sobbing uncontrollably. What had she done?
Suddenly the door opened and Shu Jing Min and Jiao Long entered. She looked at them with surprise. "You cheaters!" she shouted.
"Cheaters?" shouted Jiao Long. "You facilitated Shu Ning"s escape, you b.i.t.c.h! Now you suffer. I will make sure that Xie Yuansheng goes to the mental asylum by telling him the truth about you. You are a cheater!"
Feng Xinying felt so helpless and lonely that she started wailing. There was no hope now. She looked at her Shengu and cried, "Wake up baby. Please wake up." At this point she just wanted him to wake up. Her tears started wetting Xie Yuansheng"s face.
Suddenly, Xie Yuansheng opened his eyes feeling something wet on his face. He looked at Feng Xinying with amazement and brought his hand to her cheek, "Why are you crying Xinying and why are we here?" he asked tenderly. Saying that he got up from her lap with disbelief visible on his face.
Feng Xinying was so happy to see him like that. She threw herself on him and wrapped her arms around him. "Shengu!" she shouted in happiness through her tears.
He removed herself from him and said, "Why are you calling me Shengu? Are you drunk?" he was aghast. "And what are these people doing here?" he asked pointing at Jiao Long and Jing Min.
Feng Xinying blinked at him through tears. "Shengu…?"
He looked amazed and touched her head. Wiping her tears he said, "Xing"er, stop crying otherwise…?"
Jiao Long thought that this was the time to strike again. "Xie Yuansheng, don"t you remember that Feng Xinying is pregnant? She was crying because she found you unconscious. You must take care of your pregnant wife." She knew that this bitterness would be the final blow and Xie Yuansheng would lose mental balance. She sneered inside.
"Of course I know that she is pregnant! What kind of a silly question was that Aunt Jiao? And what are you doing here with Uncle Jing Min?" said Xie Yuansheng getting up from the ground.
